    I'm just thankful my duty was fulfilled before I became a father or grandfather. I have trouble being away from my kids and grandkids for more than a day or two. I can't imagine the heartbreak these brave service men and service women go through missing their families for months on end. I salute them all.

    Of all the "soldier surprises" videos , nothing beats "soldier surprises daughter" :) . The sheer joy of daughters finding themselves in the warmth of their soldier dad's arms . Priceless.

    My daughter learned how to salute when she was 5,while her Daddy was away with military training. I'm a proud military wife,my daughter brags about her Daddy being a soldier and we salute an American flag everytime we see it. It's called being a PROUD AMERICAN!

    When I see videos like this I miss my brother so much, but then I remember how much of a person the marines had changed him to. Everyone sees him as a sweet person who just jokes around a lot, in reality he is still as cruel as I remember from my child hood maybe not as abusive it was hands on but verbally my brother is the same if not worse. Though to this very day I love an miss him I will never forget how he use to treat me. Or the names he has called my sister. I will always love and respec

    This reminded me of the time when my mom and dad went to a different country for a year and left me with my anties and uncles. On the day they were coming back my family didn't tell me. So when i entered my house all my family were there + my mom and dad. I didn't care what the rest of the relatives or friends were thinking i just through instinct freaking ran straight up to my mom and dad and hugged them like crazy.
    I know how it feels to be that girl
    This video brought tears to my eyes

    Happy Father's Day Sgt. Hacker. Thank you for your service to our Republic. Thank you for standing in the gap that separates us from the mad men of this world. Welcome home and may you never have to leave your family ever again. May God give solace and comfort to the thousands of children who will never see their Moms and Dads ever again because they paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
